I used Foxit for PDF reading but Chrome is quick and crude too.
NO ADOBE for pdfs. Too bloated and always updating.
Totally agree, there’s much better options. And I cannot believe how expensive it is. When I was getting a master’s degree circa 2011, I was doing a lot with PDFs and looked at prices for the full version of Acrobat. That was an eye-opener, prices STARTED at $800, lord knows what it is now. They must have a real market (don’t ask me why) with big companies because I don’t know what regular Joe would shell out that kind of money when there’s better options in the $40 range (or free if you want to just read PDFs and do a few very basic functions like 98% of us).
